Aug 11, 2010 at 21:57 comment added José Figueroa-O'Farrill Ryan, the applications I have in mind require $X$ and $Y$ to be riemannian manifolds. Otherwise you could not write down the action functional for harmonic maps (and the various generalisations I am actually interested in). Since I was so clueless about the possible ways to topologise the space of maps, I was simply trying to give as much information as possible in case that helped rule some topologies out. That's all I meant.
